Resurrecting this thread because I found this:

Surgeon Believes New Technique Will Allow for Bloodless Removal of 12-Pound Tumor From Face of Jehovah's Witness

The link to the FoxNews story can be found here, including pictures that I found a bit too disturbing to actually host and post on the thread.

Essentially, this 37-year-old man sprouted this tumor at age 14 and has flat out REFUSED to receive blood transfusions to mend it on the basis of his religious beliefs.

The result:
Quote:
The tumor is now 15 inches long and weighs 12 pounds, according to a report in the Daily Telegraph of London.
Pictures here.

I honestly canNOT understand people who reject medical treatments, regardless of their beliefs.

Oof.
